We are officially moving into BUILD season (which I’m pumped about)!
But…maybe the thought of intentionally eating more, watching the scale potentially go up, and NOT trying to get smaller makes you uncomfortable. If you can relate, you’re not alone, but it’s something we need to talk about more.
If you want more muscle, shape, strength, and that “toned” look everyone is chasing, you can't spend your entire fitness journey in a calorie deficit!
In today’s episode, I'm breaking down what build season actually is, who it's for, and why constantly trying to lose weight might be keeping you from building the body you actually want.
The real question I want you to think about: Do you *really* need less body fat, or do you need more muscle?
Ultimately, build season isn't giving up on your goals - it’s part of the freaking process. If you're ready to stop chasing the smallest version of yourself and start seeing what your body can BUILD, you’re in the right place - let’s do it!!
